The wine region of Saint-Joseph
Northern Rhône cru on the right bank (Ardèche, Loire): signature Syrah as the exclusive king red - refined and structured with notes of black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), raspberry, violet, pepper, spices, liquorice and an undergrowth touch, softer tannins than Cornas or Hermitage, seductive fruit-structure balance. Marsanne and Roussanne in ample whites (peach, apricot, honey, white flowers). AOC (1956) over 26 communes, south-facing slopes, granite, schist and gneiss. Ageing 3-10 years.
The wine region of Rhone Valley
France's 2nd-largest AOC vineyard, two complementary worlds. Northern: pure Syrah in signature reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas), deep and peppery with blackberry, violet, black olive and smoked bacon notes, exceptional ageing. Opulent Viognier whites (Condrieu, apricot, flowers) and ample Marsanne-Roussanne. Southern: sun-soaked Grenache blends at Châteauneuf, Gigondas, Vacqueyras (candied fruit, garrigue).
The word of the wine: Extraction
All the methods (pumping over, punching down) that allow the colour and tannins to be extracted from the grape skin during maceration, before fermentation begins. It is also possible to macerate after fermentation, but gently, so as not to extract the tannins from the seeds, which are greener. Because of its solvent power, alcohol favours extraction.
